Bottle was 4 months out of date. Aroma gives forest fruits, brambels and blackberrys, giving a vinous tartness, a little aging too. Taste is similar with a little almonds from what seems to eb the agingness. Outstanding.

330ml bottle from BeersOfEurope. Brown beer with a refreshing acidic quality. Nothing sharp or bloody like the aged or Oud bruins from Flanders, but heading in that direction. There’s a nice fruity touch to this. Hop bitterness is low - most of the character coming from the action of the yeast on the dark malts. Hints of chocolate, drops of thin blood, rusty tin, and orange zest. Wrapped up well. Both interesting and refreshing. A damn fine drink.

Bottle. This is an excellent I repeat excellent brown. Although it is not as well known as some of the competition it is a very very decent brown. The color is almost darker then brown and bordering on a black. This is very smooth with an almost stout feel, it is spiced with oak and herbs, but feels just right.

Brown ale in the dubbel style. Clean fermentation, big brewon colour with carbonation levels on the light side. Honey addition thins the beer lightly but still has big chocolate notes. Sweet and malty and very smooth, great balance. A diferent belgian ale-extremely pleasant.

Nice brown color, thick rich head. Goregous thick chewy maltiness. Well balanced with nice firm hop backbone. Liquorice, and anise flavors. Hmmm this is a good beer at any price, and at $3.99 an amazing steal.

(Bottle 75 cl) Hazy, dark brown beer with an unclean head. This is far from the traditional abbey dubbel as the appearance might indicate. Incredibly fresh and well-scented nose - some perfumy spices. The flavours hint at some initial sweetness which disappears rather fast to be relieved by a pronounced dryness and a wee bit of hops. A very interesting beer. Perhaps a bit too much carbonation. 050599
